Fleeing from famine! A rough hunter has a fox husband
Chapter 284 Discovering Yams
This is the small backpack that Qin Yan specially made for him. It is smaller than the ones used by others. They don't lack these wild vegetables, so Qin Yan naturally doesn't want to make Shen Nuo so tired.
The boys and girls all made an appointment to go out and dig wild vegetables together. Some of the men went to catch fish, while others processed the fish like Qin Yan did.
I saw him skillfully cutting the fish into slices of evenly thick fillets with his knife, as if each slice had been carefully carved.
Then, Qin Yan took out a thin and tough rope and carefully strung the fish fillets together one by one.
Finally, tie the skewered fish fillets between two sturdy tree stumps so that they are arranged neatly and orderly.
In this way, put the fish under the sun to dry. The dried fish meat can be preserved for a long time even without salting.
In addition to dried fish, villagers also dig up wild vegetables and dry them into dried vegetables, which can be stored for a long time.
"Let's get as much food as we can while the sun is shining."
"Yes, and the bananas, I wonder if they can also be dried."
"Hey, how about we try it?"
Some people were chatting while they were working. Ever since Shen Nuo taught them the method of preserving meat by drying it, they now wanted to try to preserve whatever they could get their hands on by drying it.
As long as it can be preserved, you can eat it for a long time, which is better than letting it rot and be thrown away.
People started to act, some of them took out the bananas they had picked last time from their tents.
These bananas had been stored for so many days that some had begun to turn yellow. They took out the ripe bananas.
A pile of yellow and fragrant bananas makes people want to take a bite just by looking at them.
But now was not the time to eat, so they took out their knives and cut the bananas into pieces.
Then someone found some tarpaulins of varying sizes, but all large enough to hold the bananas, and spread them out on the grass.
The sun shines on the oilcloth, reflecting a dazzling light. The banana chips are bathed in the warm sun, emitting waves of tempting fragrance.
As the breeze blew, the oil paper fluttered gently, as if cheering for this grand "banana feast".
Fortunately, there is a large piece of grass here, so they can dry a lot of things here.
A lot of Qin Yan and his friends' stuff were in the space. The fish was very big, so he only processed a quarter of the fish meat and took it out to dry.
Dried fish is never as delicious as fresh fish, and he did this to let Shen Nuo taste what the dried fish tastes like.
You can’t let your child just watch others eat while you don’t.
The fish meat was all dried in the sun, and Qin Yan untied the horse's rope and let it go out to play by itself.
He carried the backpack on his back and walked towards Shen Nuo.
There are many people who come here to pick wild vegetables. Basically, each person finds a small piece of land, but they are not too far apart. They chat while digging wild vegetables.
When Qin Yan came over, Shen Nuo was squatting on the ground in front of some bushes, digging something with a small hoe.
He had a small frame to begin with, and as he squatted there, he looked particularly petite in Qin Yan's eyes.
"Nono, what kind of wild vegetables did you pick?"
Qin Yan asked softly, his tone gentle and kind, like a breeze blowing past his ears. The volume was just right, not too noisy, but loud enough for Shen Nuo who was not far away to hear clearly.
Hearing the call, Shen Nuo turned his head subconsciously.
The moment their eyes met, a smile as bright and brilliant as a spring flower immediately bloomed on his face, as dazzling as the sunlight penetrating through the clouds and shining on the earth.
"Ayan, come and have a look! I think I found some yam! Come over and help me confirm it!"
Shen Nuo shouted with joy, squatted on the ground, and began to dig carefully again.
His eyes were drawn to a thin vine covered with triangular leaves. It was very slender and tightly coiled around a nearby bush.
Qin Yan took a look and found it was true.
"This is yam, Nuonuo, you get up first and let me dig it."
Yams are not something particularly precious, but they are not particularly easy to grow either. When they were in Yunzhu Village, they would also plant some yams on the mountains.
However, the yams grown are very small and it takes several years to harvest, so few people grow them on purpose.
Sometimes Qin Yan could dig it up when he went hunting in the mountains. It was delicious, but it was hard to dig and find.
"I've checked. There's a field over there that has yam. Should we call all the villagers over to dig together?"
"Well, Nono is the boss."
Qin Yan had no objection to Shen Nuo's suggestion. He dug the yams a little faster and soon dug out all the yams in the ground.
I don’t know if it’s because the soil here is softer, but the yams are surprisingly straight. The ones they dug from the mountains before were all crooked.
Moreover, the whole yam was as thick as Shen Nuo's arm, and looked more like the yam that Shen Nuo had seen in modern times.
Yam and yam look very similar and taste similar. Many people prefer yam because it is easy to handle and very powdery.
Qin Yan dug to the side again and soon dug out a bigger yam.
"This is just one plant? How many roots does one plant have?"
Shen Nuo squatted aside and watched curiously. Qin Yan's movements became slower and he quickly dug out the yam he had just found, digging deeper this time.
They dug one here and directly dug out four yams. The largest one was as thick as a man's arm, and the smallest one was as thick as Shen Nuo's forearm.
Shen Nuo looked around and found that there were indeed many.
When Qin Ruan and the others saw Qin Yan coming to find Shen Nuo, they automatically walked away for fear of disturbing them.
Now Shen Nuo had no choice but to go find him.
"What? Yams? Where are they?"
Yang Xu's voice sounded behind Shen Nuo. He had just accidentally heard Shen Nuo talking about yam.
Shen Nuo brought Yang Xu and others to the place where the yam was found. Everyone was very excited to see such a big yam.
"Then let's go back and ask people to come over here and dig."
Qin Ruan also pulled the yam vines on the ground, and some of the guys had already started squatting on the ground digging.
The people from Yunzhu Village were all looking for wild vegetables together. After what happened yesterday, people from other villages didn't dare to approach the people from Yunzhu Village.
So the fact that Shen Nuo discovered the yam is now only known to the people in Yunzhu Village.
Shen Nuo nodded:
"Don't tell anyone when you go back. Let's dig first. There's no need to tell those people. If they can find it, let them dig. If they can't find it, it's none of our business."
